Abortion Returns to Waco, TexasThe devastating news came in April of 2017. During the week after Easter, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas resumed the shedding of innocent blood at its branch in Waco. In the first era of abortion holocaust in Waco, ​1994 to 2013, Planned Parenthood committed over 19,000 abortions. Sadly, the closure in 2013 was not permanent. Planned Parenthood will face a vigorous opposition from the pro-life community in Waco and Central Texas.

1121 Ross Ave.--This is where Planned Parenthood commits abortions in Waco.The killing happens in the wing of the building to the left of the picket fence.

History of Abortion in Waco Planned Parenthood is responsible for the deaths of over 19,000 pre-born boys and girls in Waco. The killing began in January of 1994 at 1927 Columbus Avenue after an extended public controversy over opening a PP abortion center in Waco. Planned Parenthood in Waco had operated a birth control etc. center since 1935. From 1994 to 2000, Planned Parenthood destroyed pre-born babies through surgical abortions. In 2001, PP in Waco added the chemical abortion method known as RU-486. This type of abortion uses two pharmaceuticals. One causes a breakdown of the lining of the mother's uterus. A second drug causes contractions to expel the dead baby from the mother. A big change occurred in December of 2011. The Columbus Avenue abortion center was closed and the abortion business was shifted to the sole remaining Planned Parenthood facility at 1121 Ross Avenue. In August of 2013, Planned Parenthood stopped performing abortions, but continued "everything else" at Ross Avenue.​ In June 2016, United States Supreme Court struck down key provisions of the Texas HB2 abortion law, which was enacted in 2013. This court decision removed the legal impediment for reopening abortion facilities in midsize cities such as Waco. Waco was one of 13 abortuaries that had been shuttered. Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas obtained a license allowing the resumption of abortion in their Waco branch as early as October 2016. Pro-Life Waco watched the Ross Avenue facility closely throughout early 2017 and discerned activities underway to resume abortion. In the first week after Easter, abortions resumed for the second era of abortion in Waco. We pray that this era will be extremely short.

PP in Waco is under the management of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas (PPGT)Planned Parenthood in Waco does not have affiliate status within Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Planned Parenthood in Waco is under the direction of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. PPGT is one of three PP affiliates in Texas. The others are PP of South Texas and PP of the Gulf Coast. Planned Parenthood in Waco became part of PPGT as a result of a merger in 2010. Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas ranges from Austin to Dallas and Fort Worth and out to Tyler. Currently, Planned Parenthood Waco does not commit surgical or chemical abortions. Rather the center in Waco refers clients for abortions carried out by Planned Parenthood in Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth. If Planned Parenthood occupies a new facility in Waco, the shedding of innocent blood could resume.

Abortion in Waco and the geography of preborn baby killing in Texas.1. Waco and dozens of neighboring counties.Prior to the impact of the HB2 law, this Central Texas area was “served” by a Planned Parenthood facility in Bryan and an independent abortion facility in Killeen. In that era, the abortion facility in Waco had clients from McLennan a several nearby counties. The Waco abortion facility today has a very broad marketing potential in the heart of the State of Texas.

2. Waco in relationship to existing abortuaries.PPGT’s Waco branch is the only abortion facility within the triangle of Dallas, Austin, and Houston.3. The 8 abortion holocaust cities in Texas Today: Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, McAllen, San Antonio and (sadly) Waco.4. With the Texas HB2 abortion legislation of 2013, abortion facilities closed in 13 Texas midsize cities from Lubbock to Harlingen to Corpus Christi. Only McAllen remained. The single city to have an abortion facility reopen after the Supreme Court struck down provisions in June of 2016. The single city where abortion has resumed in Texas is Waco. It would be folly to think abortion clinic managers do not have their eyes on other Texas midsize cities.

The ominous HWY 6 construction project There is more negative news. Pro-Life Waco has a strong indication that the building now under construction at 700 W HWY 6 will eventually occupied by Planned Parenthood in Waco. This location is between Providence Hospital and the intersection of HWY 6 and Bosque Boulevard. This center could become a high-profile abortion facility attracting mothers from dozens of Texas Counties. Tips have been received from within the local building contractors community that the HWY 6 facility is for Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood’s name is not on the building permit. This is the way PP operates when they try to hide their identity—as with PP abortion facilities in Dallas, Aurora, IL, and New Orleans. Planned Parenthood knows that if the word gets out, there will be an uproar. Planned Parenthood is definitely correct in that regard. In the case of New Orleans, when Planned Parenthood’s identity became known, the former Bishop of Austin, the Most Reverend Gregory Aymond publicly opposed the construction. He also warned that contractors involved would never work on projects for the Catholic Diocese of New Orleans. Pro-Life Waco is trying hard to get more information about the HWY 6 construction project and is encouraging contractors to abandon the project or not get involved if they have not already done so.
